Located on the shore of pristine Tomales Bay, Joe’s Studio is the perfect economic getaway from the complexities of everyday life. Whether you want to cozy up indoors or stroll along the beach while keeping an eye out for seals and otters, you’ll have everything you need for a memorable escape.
From the deck, lounge in the sun, or grill up some oysters for dinner. Curl up with a book in one of our lounge chairs and enjoy the ebb and flow of the tides on Tomales Bay. Ready for an adventure? Rent a kayak nearby and venture along the bay. Settle in and let the wildlife and changing light on the water entertain you.
The rustic studio is a cozy retreat - all on a quiet, historic private lane on the waterfront. Wake up to the gentle sound of water lapping the shore. Brew a cup in your well-equipped kitchen. Watch the natural inhabitants of the cove: snowy white egrets, great blue herons, countless flocks of shorebirds, seals, otters, sea lions, fish, bat rays and more. Want a memorable evening? Watch the fog roll in and out while sipping a glass of wine with the sun setting over the Point Reyes Peninsula. Studio has a private "bathroom" with toilet and sink. The shower in the kitchen with privacy curtains.
Want to explore? Hop in the car and take a 4-minute drive to Hog Island Oyster Company for a farm tour and lessons in oyster shucking! Drive a little further and explore Point Reyes Station & dozens of hiking trails, beaches, and more within the National Seashore.
Return to your own private retreat to enjoy breathtaking sunsets. If you love to cook, the studio has a fully equipped rustic kitchen. There are 3 BBQs-
1. Smoky Joe (small Weber)- charcoal
2. Propane Weber
3. Black Pit Boss (egg-type)- made of ceramic. Lump charcoal only. There is a Weber metal chimney for starting charcoal.
Or, enjoy a lovely evening out at one of the many acclaimed restaurants in the area.
No pets, please.

Amy2017-05-07T00:00:00Z

This is an incredible home in one of the best kept secrets of Northern California.

Max2017-05-14T00:00:00Z

We had the pleasure of staying at this property last week. The home has been recently remodeled and it's truly amazing. Everything looks new, with great attention to details and high end furnishings. The views and decks were also very enjoyable. Naz was friendly and a great communicator. I highly recommend this little gem. Thank you Naz! Cheers!

jerome2017-02-03T00:00:00Z

A terrific house right on Tomales Bay! The location is incredibly scenic and really adds to the getaway experience. The house is well designed, very nicely decorated and very well equipped, with thoughtful touches throughout that make being a guest there more enjoyable and more comfortable (everything from the chocolate Naz left for us to extra charging cables to binoculars for watching the wildlife). The kitchen is well stocked with top-notch equipment and a variety of spices, so you can easily fix anything from a quick breakfast to a multi-course dinner. It is a perfect place just to hang out and enjoy the sights and sounds of Tomales Bay (regardless of the weather) or as a base to explore the region. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely go back again.

I couldn't imagine a better place for a nice getaway. The Cottage is quaint, views are incredible, and likely the most well equipped vacation rental I've ever had the pleasure of visiting. Relax in the spa, sit on the deck and enjoy the panoramic ocean views, grill up some food, or kick back and watch TV in the living room by the fire. This place has everything you need for a little R&R. The host was wonderful and gave detailed check in instructions; it's a bit difficult to find on your own, so it was very helpful to receive the information. Highly reccomended this lovely beach cottage, you won't be disappointed.

Jason2017-02-12T00:00:00Z

As the pictures suggest, the cottage sits right atop the bay. You wake up to sights of the bay, the buffleheads and the grebes - what more could anyone seeking some peace and quiet ask for?! The cottage is generally classily done up, the bedroom is cosy, and the bathroom, recently renovated, so in good shape. There are cottages on either side but not close enough to affect your privacy. All the information/tips that Aaron has provided on his website to make the most of the wonderful area around Marshall and Point Reyes NP are worth heeding. CA-1, abutting the bay, is truly picturesque, with the other side of the road featuring rolling meadows and farmland. Point Reyes Station nearby is a quaint little town, with lovely restaurants/cafes, and some interesting stores. Point Reyes NP is fantastic - read up about it, and it is worth all the hype. If you are driving there in the night, do take Aaron's instructions seriously to locate the driveway into the cottage. (The driveway is shared by a few other cottages). In addition to the lovely cottage, Aaron is a warm host and a very reasonable person, who accommodated a situation that arose at our end. We are happy to recommend this accommodation to anyone visiting the area.

Ravi2017-02-05T00:00:00Z

Perfect cottage for two on the beautiful bay of Tomales. Accommodations were very clean, comfortable. The host answered all of our questions and was very helpful.

This is a wonderful secluded cottage on Tomales Bay. We hope to come back many times to sit on the deck or in the living room and enjoy the wonderful view. It is always a pleasure to visit!

Alex2017-05-17T00:00:00Z

Stunning location, super beautiful cottage. Bed was the most comfy I slept in in years. Everything taken care of to detail. Hot tub yay! Would love to stay here at least once a year. Thank you!

carla2017-05-21T00:00:00Z

Driftwood Cottage is a lovely place to stay on Tomales Bay. The cottage is set out over the water, and you can hear the small waves breaking under the house at night. We loved sitting on the deck and watching the bay. It was a wonderful way to get away from our busy every day lives.

This was a fantastic location for a few days away. The view was great and it is close to many activities like kayaking, oyster farms, and Pt Reyes National Seashore. We had no problems at all with our stay. We will definitely be returning.

Bill2016-08-21T00:00:00Z

The house is amazing. Very clean, and upscale yet still holding a comfortable cabin-on-the-water feel. Outdoor hot tub, with waves literally rolling beneath you, can't be beat!

Louis2017-03-29T00:00:00Z

What a lovely stay! The space was perfect, clean, comfortable, stunning views and large windows from inside as well as the deck with chairs to relax and take in the sounds of the waves, the smell of the sea, and the picturesque scenery. The hot tub was so nice and clean and we soaked up the stars while relaxing in it. Highly recommend staying. Thank you Rob for helping us have a couple of blissful days to relax!

Sarah2016-09-07T00:00:00Z

Murphy's law kind of dictates my life - I booked the house for a weekend which started off with a torrential rainfall and storm on Friday. We arrived at this incredibly charming house - just the right size for an intimate retreat and featuring breathtaking views of the bay - after driving in the rain for a few hours. We began getting all cozy by the cute little fireplace and the power went off not even an hour after we got there. It actually almost added to the charm of the place - illuminated solely by the fire and enveloped by the sounds of the water outside. Tom was extremely helpful during this time - directing us to the flashlights in the house and asking the property manager to immediately come and bring extra lanterns, batteries and water. The power came back on a few hours later and Tom called to check in on us again the next morning. The rest of the weekend went by flawlessly - the downpour slowed down a bit on Saturday and we were able to walk up and down the beach right at the base of the house, hike around the area and appreciate the beautiful scenery around the bay.

Andrea2012-01-23T00:00:00Z

We had an amazing Thanksgiving weekend at Tom's cottage and were so thankful to have discovered this uniquely welcoming place. Tom has attended with great care to every detail and, as a result, we felt totally at home. The view alone is breathtaking- the every changing Tomales bay setting was delightful and refreshing. The area nearby is full of hiking and kayaking adventure opportunities with a few excellent restaurants in a local town. We could not have been more thrilled!

Ed2012-11-26T00:00:00Z

Toms house is a magical unusual gem. It feels like living on a boat without the rocking. There is nothing generic or sterile about the house, and I felt like I was in a home that had been loved for many many years.

Shari2016-09-19T00:00:00Z

We had a fantastic time! Robert was very helpful and friendly on the phone, and he set us up with all the info we needed to enjoy the place to the fullest. The hot tub was delightful, the decor was homey, warm & inviting, and the bed was comfortable & cozy. We enjoyed cooking and hanging out, and we spent almost the whole time at the house. Thanks Tom & Robert

I would highly recommend staying in Dana's home(s). Dana and her homes are delightful. The homes are peaceful, charming and have wonderful views. Marshall is beautiful and a lovely space to spend time. I enjoyed speaking with Dana on the phone. She gave me WONDERFUL tips of what to do in the area. I rented Dana's House for my friend's to stay in. I did not actually stay there although I did stop by. I can't speak to details such as bed comfort and other basics, but my friends just loved staying there and didn't want to leave.

Francesca2015-04-06T00:00:00Z

We loved our stay. The homes were just as in the pictures. Everything was fully stocked and immaculately clean. It was quiet, spacious and gorgeous views. I highly recommend and would gladly stay there again.

virginia2015-08-24T00:00:00Z

Dana's home was perfect for our group of 9. We grilled oysters on the back patio, hung out in the hot tub, enjoyed happy hour by the dock or in one of her many hammocks. Awesome spot - and just as unique/funky (if not more!) than the photos and reviews described. Highly recommended! I got all sorts of praise from my friends for finding the spot ;) - but all credit goes to Dana.

Kirsten2017-04-09T00:00:00Z

Dana was easy to work with and the house was awesome! The listing description doesn't do the property enough justice. The setting was relaxing and peaceful and the house was clean and inviting.

Josh2016-05-31T00:00:00Z

Dana's home is EXQUISITE. Her taste is original and stylish, the space is very comfortable, and the setting is incredible. I truly wish I could leave my life behind and convince Dana to sell me her place. The boathouse is particularly sweet-- very bohemian, with great space to stretch out and do yoga or hunker down by the wood burning stove. She has a great collection of books and the kitchen is easy to cook in. This is my best airbnb experience yet!

Anna2014-01-27T00:00:00Z

Outstanding. The photos do not do this place justice -- you have to just go there to experience it yourself in the salty air and magical bay light. Don't hesitate, book these homes now!! Everyone spent the first hour of their time here flipping out about how amazing everything about the place is -- the hammocks, colored glass, beautiful art, comfy beds, quince tree, secret nooks, chickens (!!!), teepee, etc, etc, etc. We were a large group (11) and the houses were roomy and well-equipped for a crowd. Kayaking and swimming were great! Dana has lots of good tips for nearby food and activities, too.

Diane2015-08-14T00:00:00Z

Dana is a lovely and generous host. Her homes are beautiful and our group felt right where we belonged. Between the intricate decorations, warm touches, and comfy atmosphere, we had the best retreat we could have imagined. Not to mention the location on the bay and the view from the house were exquisite. I cannot wait to return. Thank you so much Dana!

Cameron2014-08-18T00:00:00Z

Fabulous house with lots of character. It's a beautiful spot to watch the bay, eat the freshest oysters ever, kayak, hike and chill. House is full of interesting furniture, books and a wonderful kitchen to cook communally. Very comfortable.

From the minute we booked the Straus Home Ranch until we left, Michael and Vivien made sure our stay was easy and very special. They were both very responsive in the weeks leading up to our stay, and when we arrived at the Straus Home, it was pristine and very well prepared for our stay. If we needed anything during our stay, Michael made sure we had everything we needed. The Ranch is a very special destination, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway in the Bay Area.

Nahal2016-07-18T00:00:00Z

The Straus Home is a gorgeous farmhouse set in a beautiful location with views of Tomales Bay and the green hills. The home is thoughtfully decorated and the hosts have really put a lot of effort in the comfort and ambience of the place. We had a lovely time BBQing, playing on the grass, touring the farm, and cooking big dinners. A wonderful place to spend a few days!

Penny was great. She was prompt and clear and even helped us change our dates when something came up. The house (and property) itself was beautiful; would definitely go back!

Erin2014-10-12T00:00:00Z

Great experience in Tomales at the house. House is a short walk from the very small town of Tomales. Our host, Penny, was very responsive and house is in great shape with all of amenities described in the listing. Really a first-class experience all around. Thanks again for a very fun and relaxing weekend!

James2015-05-25T00:00:00Z

The photos don't do the house justice--the place is even nicer than what we expected! The linens and pillows on the bed where very comfortable, the kitchen was superb, the living room was cozy, the deck/garden was a peaceful place to hang out. Location is excellent, Dillon Beach is very close and Bodega Bay is only 20 minutes away. Highly recommended!

Guntram2016-08-28T00:00:00Z

A perfect escape nestled in the rolling green hills of Tomales! We woke up every morning to perfect scenery and fell asleep under a canopy of stars. The cottage was in top shape upon our arrival making us feel right at home. Penny gave great suggestions for sightseeing around the area and was very responsive the entire trip. The location of the house was ideal for access to wine country, hiking, whale watching and (of course) oysters. This is the best place for a special get away!

Jen2016-05-02T00:00:00Z

Charming home. It was easy to get to and very quiet even though it was right off of Highway One. The bedrooms were large and the bathrooms were over the top! That steam shower is pretty cool. Waking up and watching the cows meander along was wonderful. Penny was very quick to answer our last minute request and with any questions. We ran into poison oak while hiking in Pt. Reyes and so it was wonderful to be able to wash our clothes at the place (fortunately we got it off before we had a chance to get a reaction and were able to go hiking in those clothes the next day!). The kitchen is large and well stocked with all of the basics (pots, pans, bowls, cutting board, coffee maker, coffee grinder, etc).

Zeke2015-03-22T00:00:00Z

The Tomales Bay Lavender House was perfect! Penny's directions made our entry easy and the house was sparkling clean when we arrive. The landscape surrounding the house is spectacular and really a perfect retreat. I was looking for a location to hold a work off-site that would offer a change of scenery and allow us to both relax and be productive at the same time. This was the ideal spot. We turned the fireplace on as soon as we arrived and the house warmed right up. The views from both bedrooms were amazing and the house was stocked with everything one might need without feeling cluttered at all. We started our day at the Bakery in Tomales, stocked up on treats at the general store and took our lunch break at Nick's Cove, right on the bay. Penny was super friendly and easy to communicate with through. I am looking forward to returning. Thanks Penny!

We had a wonderful time at Lavender House, hosted by Penny. a combination Thanksgiving, and 90th birthday party for my dad, the place was a real hit. The does have a gourmet kitchen, and was will up to a thanksgiving meal. However, if you come to cook, which I recommend, bring all your food stocks. The kitchen has the equipment, but few provisions, and the local general store is also very sparse. The views from the house are spectacular! A lush, green valley (after the recent rains) with bucolic dairy cattle and deer running around. Penny was a great host and the house was well prepared. We had a great time, and we will be back.

Lavender house was a cozy get-away-place in the heart of Tomales. We really enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and comfortable, and had wonderful views of the countryside with resident cows included in the scenery. It was perfect. I would definitely choose this listing again. Penny was available and checked-in with us often to see if we needed anything. The fridge was stocked with beverages and condiments that made our stay easy.

It was a great stay

Jenna2017-04-02T00:00:00Z

Our second visit. This place is cozy and gorgeous.

Andrew2015-06-17T00:00:00Z

We had a fabulous weekend stay at the Bayglow Cottage, right on the water in Marshall. Location could not be better! We loved the rustic cozy feel of this home, yet the nicer touches where they really matter like a modern, well-appointed kitchen and heated bathroom floors made it feel a bit luxurious. All three rooms had comfortable beds with nice bedding. Well done, Donald! Would love to return.

Sydney2016-08-29T00:00:00Z

Absolutely gorgeous views and a lovely place to stay. Hot tub was lovely and location is idyllic. Definitely recommend as a quiet getaway for groups or family.

Rachel2015-08-10T00:00:00Z

Our family had a great stay at the cottage. It was in a nice location to explore the area (the Point Reyes area was exceptional). The house rules were clearly laid out and the area information provided was helpful. We really enjoyed hanging out on the deck at the end of the day. Would love to go back.

Stay in an historic bank building converted into a residence in rural Tomales, centrally located to Pt. Reyes National Seashore, Tomales Bay and the Pacific Ocean. Perfect for hiking, biking, kayaking, and a relaxing get-a-way.

This unique B&B is a 2-story artist's residence in a converted bank building, located in the sleepy, west Marin town of Tomales. Tomales is surrounded by open hills and agriculture, much of it protected into perpetuity by Marin Agricultural Land Trust.
This vacation spot is a short hop from the Napa and Sonoma wine valleys, historic Bodega Bay where Alfred Hitchcock filmed “The Birds,” beaches, redwoods, bicycling, kayaking and much more. Relax with modern comforts. Sleep in a quiet luxury loft. Feel safe and secure at Not-A-Bank!

Tomales has a wonderful bakery where the locals gather in the morning to chat the events of the day. Tomales Deli’s selections include hamburgers of local grass-fed beef. K&A TakeAway features craft made sausages. The William Tell Bar & Restaurant is next door. Diekmann’s General Store provides any forgotten needs and has a incredible wine selection. Six miles south on Tomales Bay is Nick’s Cove Restaurant, Hog Island Oyster Company, the Marshall Store (rated one of the top 100 seafood restaurants in America), and Tony’s Seafood (their fish & chips are the bomb). North 10 miles is Rocker Oysterfellers at the Valley Ford Inn, Estero Cafe (awesome for breakfast), and Dinucci’s Family Style Italian Restaurant. Further north another 10 minutes is Bodega Bay.
Not-A-Bank is the perfect destination for relaxation and outdoor activities such as kayaking, cycling, hiking, whale watching, and exploring the back roads of Northern California. Dillon Beach is 4 miles west. Tomales Bay is 6 miles south. Pt. Reyes National Seashore is 25 minutes further south. 17 miles north in Bodega Bay, you can golf and pursue more restaurant selections. Sonoma’s Alexander Wine Valley is within easy reach and Tomales is no more than an hour from Napa Valley. San Francisco is also one hour away.
Whether you're in the mood for adventure, relaxation, indoor or outdoor entertainment, Tomales has a lot to offer.

What a great place. A very unique and funky loft to stay at on the coast. The acoustics were great and making music was a big highlight. You really get a sense of history being there. We will be back.

We had a WONDERFUL time at NOT A BANK! The space is super unique, fun and artistic. Plus, well-equipped with basically anything you would need-extra pillows, games, spices, first aid supplies even a record player. Burt was easy to communicate with throughout the whole process. We would definitely come back.

Elizabeth2015-08-17T00:00:00Z

Not a Bank is really cool. Truly a one of a kind spot. Perfect for a quiet getaway and within driving distance to some of the most delicious oysters I've ever had. One FYI is the building is not air conditioned and the bedroom can get pretty warm in the summer.

Matthew2015-07-20T00:00:00Z

Our charming and quiet, one bedroom historic cottage reflects a comfortable getaway! It is located in the heart of historic Tomales, 3 miles from the ocean and is adjacent to Tomales Bay and nearby Point Reyes National Seashore. Great for strolling, hiking, kayaking, bicycling, and much more!

Marinette, situated in the historic village of Tomales, Ca, is a historic cottage at the edge of town and offers a welcome and private retreat for visitors and travelers to scenic Northwest Marin County.
Tomales has a rich social and architectural heritage and is surrounded by open hills and agriculture, most of which is protected into perpetuity by Marin Agricultural Land Trust.
If you are seeking 'a home away from home' base that offers rest and relaxation, and the sounds of birds, village life, church bells on Sunday, and an occasional cow mooing, you have found the right space.
We welcome you to Marinette, Historic Garden Cottage.

Our cottage, the "Marinette," located just off Highway 1 and three doors east from the bakery and deli. This one bedroom cottage comfortably sleeps 2-3 people. Just a 5 minute drive to Dillon Beach and 25 minutes to the Point Reyes National Seashore makes this destination perfect for simple relaxation or outdoor adventures such as hiking, kayaking, cycling, whale watching or exploring the back roads of coastal Marin.

The cottage is beautiful, clean, quiet and sits in a gorgeous garden with flowers and bees! We had the perfect stay. Donna showed us around the little house and yard, which she and her husband clearly love very much. We arrived late in the day, so we took a picnic blanket to the garden for a few minutes to enjoy the last few rays of sun. At night, the stars were so bright we could see the Milky Way! The sofa bed (euro-recliner) was very comfy for our third guest. Also, everyone in the town knows each other and is helpful and friendly!

Donna was great! The place is beautiful. We really enjoyed ourselves. I would live there! :)

Jamie2016-06-26T00:00:00Z

This is a very historical house. Donna is very friendly and kind. She greeted us right after we arrived. She even provided us with a jar of home grown honey, which tastes great.

David2015-10-03T00:00:00Z

Honestly, The best location to unwind and relax. Cute cottage with just the right amount of privacy to detach yourself from the world. If needed, there's a great restaurant walking distance from the cottage and a local bakery as well. The host is very accommodating and even set up the indoor fireplace right as we arrived. Loved this place and would recommend to anyone! Thank you!

Emily2017-01-07T00:00:00Z

Thanks Donna - everything was perfect.

Purvesh2015-06-28T00:00:00Z

Cute cottage close to Main Street, but quiet. Good restaurant and bakery nearby. Friendly, accommodating hosts. Very clean and comfortable.

Linda2016-10-27T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful stay at Donna's. The cottage was probably one of the most quaint airbnbs I've ever stayed at! The town is quite small and the cottage is located just down the street from a cute bakery. A very good spot to explore the rest of Tomales Bay. Thanks for the amazing stay!

Perched over pristine Tomales Bay, across from beaches and the Pt Reyes National Seashore, this 3-bedroom 2-bath home has been recently renovated with dual-pane windows, new decking, new kitchen, gas fireplace, spa, and long fishing dock and crane for launching two-person kayak. Walk to oyster company.

Tranquility on the Bay is perched over pristine Tomales Bay with views of Pt Reyes National Seashore and beaches across the bay. There is large wrap-around deck and a long dock from which to launch the tandem kayak or rowboat. A spa is protected on the leeward side of the home surrounded by a garden. The home has been renovated with double pane windows, fully equipped kitchen, wood floors, a gas fireplace, and double French doors that open onto the deck overlooking the bay with southwest exposure. Furnishings are Danish modern. There are two large screen TVs.

Marshall is a village of professors (many from UC Berkeley), organic farmers, artists, fishermen, musicians (Bob Dylan's mentor Ramblin' Jack Elliott has lived here for years), and bird watchers, among others. Most everyone has a taste for oysters, as we are a half a mile in either direction to Hog Island Oyster Company or Marshall Store/Tomales Bay Oyster Co. Nick's Cove has a really good restaurant and Tony's Seafood is always fresh.

My friends had the best weekend at Fred's amazing bay home! The pictures do not do it justice in terms of size of rooms and walls of Windows! The surround sound of the waves of the bay lapping the home were an added bonus! We enjoyed the kitchen and had some great meals, got oysters from gig islands and shucked away on the patio and enjoyed playing cards under the amazing light above the kitchen table! It was also only a gorgeous 90min drive from the Bay Area! At one point there was a blackout and we called Fred who helped us get the info we needed! He was very helpful! Just a heads up no cell service at house but wifi worked very well. I would highly recommend this special house!

Jyoti2016-04-25T00:00:00Z

Tranquility on the Bay is truly the quintessential "Get-Away" spot. The home is spacious with an open concept interior, and views of Tomales Bay that are to-die-for! The home appears to be very recently renovated. Gorgeous hardwood floors throughout, both bedrooms are lovely and decorated beautifully (the master is LARGE with views of the bay that you see as soon as you open your eyes), master bath and guest bath are both beautifully appointed with new fixtures and cozy decor. The kitchen and dining area are open, expansive and inviting for cooking and eating meals. The living room, with its view of the bay and super comfy furniture, along with interesting art work and plenty of good reading (lots of books about the local area), make you never want to leave the house. We enjoyed the luxurious hot tub and most especially the expansive deck / dock overlooking the Bay! Fred and Karin are lovely hosts who responded to questions immediately and provided lots of good tips for the area. Close to numerous beaches and other sights, as well as a few local restaurants where you'll have the best oysters you've ever eaten! Tranquility was exactly what we needed and this lovely home and beautiful area provided! It was better than imagined and we'll definitely recommend it highly!

Carrie2016-11-13T00:00:00Z

The description of the house and area do not do justice to the reality of this property. The amenities were beyond expectations and everything we needed was located right on site. We could not have had a more enjoyable experience. The local dining experiences of Tony's, Nick's and Hog Island Oyster Bay were exceptional and very close. Thanks again to Fred for making his wonderful home available for others to experience.

Ed2015-10-12T00:00:00Z

Our family spent a beautiful November weekend at Fred's waterfront home. The house was clean and comfortable and we felt like guests in a home, not a vacation rental or hotel. The location is hard to beat, with gorgeous views from a house and deck perched right over Tomales Bay. We would definitely recommend it for couples or small families, and can't wait to return to this magical area.

Charlie2015-11-09T00:00:00Z

Great host and nice property. "Tranquility on the Bay" is a perfect description for the beautiful views of Tomales Bay. Looking forward to a return visit!

Tom2015-12-27T00:00:00Z

A prefect spot and a beautiful house. On the water! it feels like a boat that does not move. The sound of the waves is amazing and the views of the undeveloped Point Reyes peninsula across Tomales bay is hypnotic. The house is very well kept and the owner makes it very welcoming: Fresh flowers on the table and bedroom, a delicious bottle of wine, orchids in bloom everywhere... I did not want to leave!, I hope to rent it again Thank you Fred!

Lolo's Cottage is the ideal destination for your coastal getaway... Situated along a gorgeous stretch of Tomales Bay, just an hour’s scenic drive from the Golden Gate Bridge. Unparalleled views and all the comforts of home.

Lolo’s is set directly on Tomales Bay amid the rolling hills of West Marin. Curl up in the window seats to watch the changing light on the bay. Or, dine on the dock at sunset and watch the cormorants dive for their own dinners.
We have everything you need for a relaxing and comfortable stay.
• Unparalleled views of Tomales Bay and the Point Reyes parklands
• Fully equipped kitchen for gourmet cooking with complimentary breakfast fixings and all the cooking basics. Just bring your groceries.
• Three bedrooms with quality linens and down comforters. There is a Pack 'n Play for families with infants.
• Full bath with luxury towels
• High-speed Wi-Fi
• Private small beach for launching your kayaks and hunting for shells
• Walking distances to Hog Island Oysters and the Marshall Store.
• Back pack and picnic supplies provided for your hikes at Point Reyes National Seashore
• Short drive to the Sonoma and Napa wine country.

There are lots of nearby activities:
- Walking to Hog Island Oyster Co and bringing back fresh oysters to grill on the BBQ.
- Low tide walking along Millerton Point and watching the shorebirds.
- To help in your trip planning I provide an Insider's Guide to the many area activities and restaurants .

We very much enjoyed our stay at Lolo's cottage. It started even before our arrival with a thorough set of documents covering directions, details about the home and its operation, as well as places to eat and visit. This was very helpful and I was able to secure reservations at Stelina's in advance. The location is unique and restful. There is not much to walk to - Marshall Store and Hog Island - but Point Reyes Station is 9 miles away and has a great grocery store, bakery, and restaurants. I appreciated how well labeled everything was in the home as well as how comfy and cozy it was. We really enjoyed cooking on the wedgewood stove and appreciated how well equipped the kitchen was. Lastly couldn't beat the built-in window seats for resting/reading and the deck on the water -a prime spot for sipping a glass of red at the end of the day!

Cheryl2016-06-09T00:00:00Z

Lori is absolutely wonderful to stay with, so thoughtful and having made the place welcoming, comfy, and perfect for a bayside experience

Josh2016-10-14T00:00:00Z

Beautiful house in Marshall. Exceptional view, lovely deck and all around delightful and clean home for our special weekend. The location is perfect for easy walks to visit the Marshall Store and Hog Island. Really a special spot.

Ann2015-12-13T00:00:00Z

Lori's place was wonderful – just what my family and I needed to unwind for a long weekend. Great location, within walking distance to Hog Island oysters! And Lori was a fabulous host, really responsive and accommodating.

Lukasz2016-08-01T00:00:00Z

Lolo's Cottage was perfect, just what we needed. It was clean, in a perfect (beautiful) location and with an amazing dock and views. Also an easy walk to Hog Island Oyster Co which is a HUGE plus! The house was also well stocked with the basics and had very clear instructions. Highly recommended, thanks!

Keith2016-05-28T00:00:00Z

This was our second year at the cottage and we shared it with another couple. All four of us were blown away by the setting and the wonderful cottage itself. Lori's attention to detail and incredibly stocked kitchen were most appreciated-- especially since we cooked in most nights ( the scene outside the window outshines any restaurant). Lori's recommendations were spot on-- especially her advice that Osteria Stellina is the best food in Marin. Both couples plan to return in the future to this idyllic and enchanting place

Steven2016-07-16T00:00:00Z

Lori's Cottage was PERFECT! It lived up to the photos and then some! The cottage is incredibly beautiful, charming, and immaculately kept up. The deck had stunning views and was perfect for morning brunch and sunsets. The beds were very comfortable and I especially loved the bedroom upstairs -- great view of the water by day and stars by night. I slept so well with only the sound of the water outside. The kitchen was beautiful and fully equipped. Lori sent us great recommendations for local restaurants, hikes, and activities. We went to the market to buy fresh oysters and Lori even provided oyster-shucking instructions in one of the cabinets and the proper tools! She really thought of everything. There is a claw foot tub in the bathroom - loved it! The gas fireplace also was a wonderful touch. I can't imagine an easier or more enjoyable renting experience. It is a very magical place. We were there from Thursday-Sunday and wish we could have stayed longer. Luckily it is an easy and scenic drive from San Francisco to the cottage. 5 stars +++++

Erica2014-02-03T00:00:00Z

Lolo's cottage is a lovely, quiet space *right* on the water. Though there are houses to either side, we didn't see or hear anyone the two weeknights we were at the cottage; it felt very secluded. We have a friend with a houseboat and family who live on a boat; this felt like the same sort of experience of being surrounded by long views and water, only on land. We will *definitely* be back!

Goats, sheep, cheese and a 4,000 sq ft newly built home! Unique house with views from every room. Sweeping porch to sit and watch the workings of the farm. Fresh eggs and cheese upon arrival. You can assist or observe in milking and herding animals.

This amazing, newly-built home is in the midst of a working goat/sheep dairy and farmstead creamery. If you love animals and artisan cheese then this is the place for you!! This is a working-farm so there will be people milling about the property. You can help out with the goats, garden, or simply take a hike around the 160 organic acres.

Tomales is a quaint town with a wonderful bakery and saloon (oldest in Marin county).
There is so much to do in West Marin/West Sonoma County! We are 3 miles from Dillon beach, 5 miles from Marshall (oysters and amazing kayaking), and 10 miles north of Pt. Reyes— all the hiking trails you could ever want.
Head north and you enter the charming towns of Bodega Bay, Occidental and Sebastopol for wine tasting or a spa day.

I visited the Farm for Labor Day weekend with a group of 7 friends/family. We were immediately blown away by how stunning the house was. Every detail was thought through. While the house itself was very grand and open, it still had a cozy, intimate feel. Aside from the house and decor, the staff was incredible. Everyone we met was so welcoming. Being able to walk through the farm, watch (and even participate in) the milking of the goats each morning, was an experience.

Charlie2014-09-02T00:00:00Z

An outstanding place to stay in a unique part of the world -- goats, hills, cheese, small funky towns, hiking and the beach all within 20 minutes of this home. The house itself is tremendous as it sits on a working goat farm with modern amenities inside the house. Great for a large group, especially families with children who will be entertained for hours on the farm trampoline -- feeding/milking the goats, walking around the property or jumping on the kid-friendly trampoline. We learned a lot about raising goats from everyone working on the farm -- super friendly and helpful. You feel like your part of the crew without having to do any work :) The owners went out of their way to communicate with us and to ensure everything we had a pleasant stay. Big thumbs up. We'll be back for sure.

Clark2014-12-30T00:00:00Z

We had our company retreat here for 2 nights and it was absolutely wonderful. The house is incredible and has so many loving details that make you smile when you notice them. The surrounding area is also gorgeous and everyone working here is friendly and knowledgeable. We had a great time with the goats and couldn't be happier about our stay.

Tamara's Modern Farm House was the perfect setting for our team retreat. The house itself is amazing and has all the amenities and space you could ask for. The location was ideal in the hills of Tomales near Pt Reyes, and the farm tour was fantastic. Most importantly, Tamara and her team were extremely accommodating and very friendly from the moment we booked to the end of our stay. Will definitely be back again with our team, if not with my own family or group of friends. Thanks again, Tamara!

Shad2016-04-30T00:00:00Z

The farmhouse is in the center of the action at this busy little goat and sheep farm. Tamara was easy to communicate with before and during our stay. The house is very chic 'farmhouse' in its design - with comfortable, luxurious, and well thought out furniture, fixtures and bedding. The kitchen is enormous with incredible views of the rolling green hills that surround the farm. The price is a bit high, though, for the size of the house (4 bedrooms and not much room to expand into) and the farm doesn't easily plug into as a guest of the house if you are looking to learn how to raise goats. But the cheese samples Tamara and team left in the fridge were divine. And those views!

Local food, oysters, cheese and access to the beauty of Point Reyes National Seashore are at your fingertips.

We had a fantastic time here over a long weekend up at Tomales Bay. Helen was very helpful, accommodating, and easy to communicate with. The place has outstanding views of Tomales Bay and the home itself is also gorgeous. Really comfortable beds and couches, great shower, huge and very well-equipped kitchen, surprisingly fast wifi given you're in an area without cell reception (you probably won't have good cell reception). The neighbors were really friendly too. We would definitely stay again and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a Tomales Bay / Point Reyes get-away.

Enchanted Bay really is breathtaking. I absolutely loved my stay in this beautiful house!! It's very clean, nicely decorated, and fully stocked with everything you need for a relaxing weekend away. The location is ideal. It's situated right on the water, with full views of Tomales Bay. Even though the house is right on Hwy 1, the beautiful landscaping makes it seem like a private little hideaway. I felt completely safe and secluded. Loved every minute of it!!!! Helen is very responsive to communication and pays great attention to detail. All of the furniture is extremely comfortable and well maintained, the linens are luxurious and clean, and finding a bottle of bubbly waiting for us upon arrival was the perfect way to end a long day of travel. I highly recommend this Airbnb, and look forward to visiting again soon!!

Mary2016-03-31T00:00:00Z

What an utterly wonderful place at a an incredible spot of the bay. The perfect serene place to rest your mind and soul. Helen was fantastic too, with fast responses and a wonderful gift that awaited us when we arrived. Would come back in a heart beat and already looking forward to the moment when we will.

Saschka2016-05-17T00:00:00Z

From the beginning, Helen was excellent! She was so prompt in answering any of my questions and ensuring that everything went smoothly. I rented this place for my boyfriend and I to stay the weekend in celebration of my 30th birthday. However, I also wanted to invite friends up for the day and host a dinner using the outdoor kitchen (BBQ). Helen was kind enough to run this by the owners and ensure that we had permission to do so. The location was ideal. Just across the street/highway was Tomales Bay and a local restaurant (in case you don't feel like cooking -- this is what we opted to do on our first night there). There is a neighboring cottage really close by, but they are closer to the outdoor kitchen area (really nice people, though!). The pictures don't do justice to the outdoor space. There's a huge deck with an outdoor sink, BBQ, and hightop seating (a prime place for the guys to socialize while manning the grill). There's also a gorgeous outdoor dining table and chairs. In case it gets too cold, there's an even more gorgeous indoor dining table that can seat plenty of people. Inside, the kitchen was perfection (top notch appliances), the couches were comfy, and there's an Apple TV and amazing stereo system in case that's your thing. The bedrooms are downstairs and were wonderfully appointed with plush bedding and great toiletries. You feel like you're staying at a five star hotel. I was pleasantly surprised by how this place exceeded my expectations and all my friends were quite impressed by the home. I would definitely come back with some friends for the weekend and do some hiking in the spring or summer. There's definitely no cell service in Marshall, but once we were hooked up to the house's wifi, we didn't have any issues. We found out the place has an outdoor shower and hot tub -- shame they were out of service, but if they get it fixed and up and running, that would put it over the top! The sparkling wine left for us upon our arrival was also much appreciated!

The home is beautiful (seriously an amazing kitchen, fun grounds and gorgeous views!) and I very much appreciate Helen's willingness to explore and accommodate an early check-in for me. The bottle of bubbles on the dining room table was extremely kind! Truly a wonderful experience!!

Tomales,CA in West Marin County, walking distance to local shops,dining, & amazing playground. Also just a 7 minute drive to DILLON BEACH, white sandy, pet-friendly beach. Maybe spend a day in Bodega Bay (30 minute drive), And if you head inland enjoy fresh oysters and wine tasting. Or chose to stay in and relax in brand new hot tub. We are eco-friendly and offer organic beds, linens, soaps & shampoos. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, and families.

Rosemary Garden Cottage is a 3 bedroom 2 1/2 bath house located on the world famous Pacific Coast Highway or Hwy 1 California. One of our best features is location, just a 5 minute drive to beautiful Dillon Beach. We have a brand new 7 person hot tub! Also, if you like oysters, Bodega Bay Oyster co. less than a 30 minute drive away. Wine tasting anyone? Spend a day in lovely West Sonoma County and explore and enjoy some of the many world class local vineyards in the area, about a 45 minute drive from house. House is walking distance from charming town of Tomales with local shops and restaurant/bar, and for a variety of fine dining the cities of Sebastopol and Petaluma are each about a 45 minute drive. This house is a cozy, quaint spot to relax and enjoy with your family and friends. We are Eco-friendly providing organic shampoos/soaps/laundry detergents throughout the house. Towels provided are organic cotton. We also provide the most comfortable beds you've ever slept, all queen sized organic mattresses with organic cotton bamboo blend sheets (futon too). Cable tv and wifi with tv's in every room. And, our "Kids Extravaganza" (pics coming soon) is an awesome space for the kids and adults to enjoy indoor basketball game, board games, toys, artists corner, and yoga mats. We even have some beach gear ready to go, sand toys, boogie board, and beach towels. Also, for the kiddos, is an amazing huge playground just a short walk down the street. Rosemary Garden Cottage is a most comfortable space to get away from it all, and we believe the perfect vacation location for all.

We spend a weekend with our friends and 4 kids. We liked this cottage. It's comfortable, nice, very cozy and full of atmosphere - pictures and paints on the walls and plenty of nice things around. There's a special place for the kids to play - a cave with basketball ring and different board games. This cave is a very good option, especially if you have kids with you and want to have a rest. The hot tub is big and nice but we used it only once, as it was quite windy and cold outdoors. There's a good playground 5 min walk, in Tamales, we spend there about an hour. The cottage is not far from Botega bay, we liked the idea of renting in Tamales, an a very quite place with beautiful nature. Lisa answered our questions very quickly and was very friendly. Hope to stay there again!

Our group had a great time at this place. Walkable to a very quaint downtown Tomales, great hot tub, and Double Shot arcade basketball game downstairs if you're feeling sporty! Lisa is a very friendly and helpful host as well. All in all it was a great stay.

Sonya2017-04-16T00:00:00Z

My friends and I rented the cottage for a weekend and couldn't have asked for a better experience! The house was perfect for what we needed - cute, clean, and in a great location close to Hog Island Oyster Farm and our kayaking tour at Nick's Cove. Lisa was a great host and very sweet and helpful. Highly recommended!

Kate2017-05-21T00:00:00Z

The place is comfortable, beautiful, and spacious. Lisa was super friendly and helpful. The area is quiet and beautiful, not far from the beautiful Dillon Beach. The only thing I wished I'd known is that the kitchen didn't have a microwave, but was otherwise very well-equipped.

Rebecca2017-04-28T00:00:00Z

I stayed here with 7 friends for 2 nights and it was just wonderful! The beds are very comfortable, the hot tub is perfect, and the fireplace really ties it all together. We had a little trouble with the alarm when we first got there but Lisa was very attentive and helped us fix it right away. We'd love to stay here again!

Jennifer2017-02-20T00:00:00Z

My family and I enjoyed our trip very much. The cottage/house was inviting and comfortable. We would like to return someday.

This original home is quiet, comfortable and walking distance to the beach. Two bedrooms, and a foldout couch. Bathroom with a tub/shower combination. Full kitchen, dining room and large deck with bbq. Relax in the hammock and watch the clouds go by.

Original, arty decor creates a feast for the eyes. Hardwood floors, folk art and a cool vibe will make you feel cheerful and relaxed as you unwind after a long day of surfing, playing or just hanging out on the beach. Dillon Beach is a beautiful, dog friendly beach. It is also a short drive to Pt. Reyes National Sea Shore, Bodega Bay and the wine country. The living area is open and spacious with separate dining and sunken living room. Two bedrooms, bath and a crow's nest upstairs. California king mattress in the master bedroom, queen in the guest bedroom and the couch folds out into a double bed. There is a large enclosed deck sheltered from the wind, with outdoor table, chairs and an old, but sturdy, hammock. Off street parking for two cars and pet friendly. TV for playing DVDs only. NO cable or satellite service. BBQ.

Our home is in 'The Village' which is the original Dillon Beach development. It has a wonderful collection of homes, some built in the 20's, some more recently. It has a wonderful, small California beach town vibe.

We had such a great experience with Jill and really loved her home. It was cozy and clean and in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood very close to the beach. Jill made it super easy to check in and out, was very responsive when I had any questions, and made sure everything we needed was accommodated for. Thanks again!

Jill's place was great. She was easy to communicate with, flexible, and offered a bunch of local recommendations. Her home is lovely and the location is perfect for a weekend getaway.

Katie2017-04-30T00:00:00Z

Another restful stay at Jill's Dillon Beach home! I had a wonderful time and am grateful to Jill for being a lovely, responsive, generous host. Her house is well-equipped and clean and comfortable. The beach, a 5 minute walk away, is always a marvel. Merci bien, Jill!

Colleen2016-08-07T00:00:00Z

The house was very comfortable and clean with lots of great DVDs to enjoy! Jill was a kind and considerate host. Dillon Beach was just a short walk away and my family had so much fun flying kites and watching the many dogs play along the beach! Thanks for a great stay!

Chloe2015-08-23T00:00:00Z

This was such a great place! We had six of us stay and it was a great size for our group! Great area for running, hiking, exploring, and getting in the ocean. We found some lovely seafood and loved the kitchen's set up. Back porch was perfect for lounging in the sun. Walking distance to a beautiful little beach and gorgeous views of the water. Thank you Jill!

Katelyn2017-02-20T00:00:00Z

Comfortable, convenient house for a relaxing getaway.

Kate2017-02-25T00:00:00Z

My wife and I had a great weekend at Dillon Beach! Jill's home was comfortable and cozy with just a short walk to the beach. It was a great escape from SF which is what we wanted, the freedom of being in the countryside with our dog, enjoying the calm neighborhood, and laying in the hammock looking up at the starts at night. Highly recommended!

Zack2015-05-17T00:00:00Z

This house is a gem -- the open space of the kitchen, living room and dining room -- which then connects all out to an enormous deck was the perfect layout. The deck was great to hang outside and shuck oysters (and it is protected from the wind which was a huge bonus!) Jill is super communicative and easy to get in touch with. We would definitely come back here, we love Dillon Beach!
